Additional quotes by John Dryden

So easie still it proves in Factious Times,
With publick Zeal to cancel private Crimes:
How safe is Treason, and how sacred ill,
Where none can sin against the Peoples Will:
Where Crouds can wink; and no offence be known,
Since in anothers guilt they find their own.

Truth is the foundation of all knowledge, and the cement of all societies.

Hati-hati terhadap kemarahan orang yang penyabar.

Happy the man, and happy he alone, He who can call today his own; He who, secure within, can say, Tomorrow, do thy worst, for I have lived today. - John Dryden
